Starling Studio Suite

This repository contains Docker configurations to run FreeCAD, an open-source 3D parametric modeler. It provides a straightforward way to deploy FreeCAD in containerized environments, ensuring compatibility and ease of setup across different systems.

Introduction

FreeCAD is a highly versatile 3D CAD, MCAD, CAx, CAE, and PLM modeler. The Docker image created from this repository allows users to run FreeCAD within Docker containers, making it independent of the host's operating system and configuration.

Prerequisites

To use the Docker images and build scripts provided in this repository, you must have the following installed on your system:

• Docker (See Docker installation guide here)
